Default SpaceShipOne back on track

This story in Wired today says that Burt Rutan has found the
cause of the control problem on last month's flight, it's
been resolved, and Scaled Composites plans to schedule three
flights within two weeks to go for the X Prize:

(Yes, only two successful flights are needed to claim the prize;
they want to schedule three in case one doesn't qualify.)

With the mandatory 60-day notice before the first flight, the
earliest this could happen would be the second week of September.
(And Rutan hasn't made the official notification yet.)
